Amazing workout! Clean and new equipment, towels on both benches and treadmills. Such a fun vibe, great music, great workout, fun instructors, convenient early times and LOVE 5:10am - it just feels better than 5 am :) The front desk people are nice, helpful, and more than happy to show you the ropes. Good easy parking. Love this place! read more

First time trying Barry's and the class itself was fine, although the speakers point directly downward so if you're in T-2 you'll be right under the blasting speakers. I took off two stars because it's not a very beginner friendly place. For my first class, they gave me a super quick rundown at the front desk (very chaotic behind the desk as well so I barely heard anything) and then pretty much left us to fend for ourselves during the class. We had no idea what to do in the class, just following others as best as we could, which ultimately wasted most of our first class.. The instructors are great though (I've only had the one) and if we could have kept up with instructions it would have been a great experience. read more

The two of us came here for our first class and it was a zoo. We checked in at the front desk and were told we were on standby, which was confusing since we were not on the waitlist or anything, and booked the class over 24 hours in advance. I told the employee that it was our first class and she said she knew, yet she did not give us any info about the class or equipment like she did for the people we were behind in line. We showed up 10 minutes early just to wait to be let in until 5-10 minutes AFTER the class had already started! No one gave us a rundown of what to expect or how to work the equipment. Pretty unprofessional. It was very hard to jump in as everyone was already working out and we had to maneuver in the very dark, crowded room. The workout benches and treadmills are extremely close together and they overfill the class to the point where it's difficult just to put your weights away. It's clear that they pack the class in as full as they possibly can just to make more money off each class. I've tried numerous other work out classes in OC, and this was the most packed I had ever seen a class. There was a line just to get out the door! Very uncomfortable and way too crammed. During the class, our instructor, Mackenzie, congratulated all of the first-timers and named a list of people, but somehow our names were missing from the list... very bizarre! Also, how come all the other first-timers were able to go in before the workout began, and me and my friend had to wait until 5 or 10 minutes after it had already started?? On top of all of that, the music was WAY TOO LOUD. You could barely hear what the instructor was saying at times. My ears were ringing after class. Barry's gave me Cycle Bar vibes which I did not like. After this odd and unpleasant experience, we will not be returning. read more

Super easy check in process and motivating instructor. The only downside is this location is on the smaller side so not much room to move around and there's no smoothie bar. The spa quality toiletries and big fluffy towels are my favorite thing about coming here. read more

I took Taylor Hoyt's class today, and I wanted to leave a review to remind myself which instructor to take next time. Taylor has great taste in music; his playlist kept me going and pushed me to the very end. Thank you. read more

I came here for the first time with a friend after being referred to try my first class free. Running and lifting- sounds tough but maybe fun? I try everything once! We arrived about 10 mins before class begun to check in and we were told we were on "stand-by". Interesting since we booked the class 2 days ago and it didn't mention anything about a waitlist. We also mentioned it was our first time and instead of walking us through what to expect, we were brushed off and told to wait as she helped person after person get checked in. We saw another first-timer be told a run-down of what to expect so it was disappointing to know we weren't given the same treatment... I couldn't believe the amount of people just waiting around. Not kidding - must be around 40+ people. We heard the class enter the room and start their warm-up as we're still waiting around the front. No one else was around. Another employee went in to check what spaces were open- shouldn't their system be able to tell them that? We are so confused at this point... Finally we're told we can go in and are only told where to find the weights. We jump into the first half of the floor series, not warmed up or stretched. The workout itself is very tough, especially the running. I felt light-headed after my first run which was a little concerning. The instructor, Mackenzie, mentioned a list of first timers by name but mine and my friends were conveniently left out- not that I care but how could that be??? It was very tough to maneuver around the space as the benches, people, weights and water bottles were always in the way. Putting weights away was more like a crowded tip-toe...be careful not to trip or run into someone in a dark red lit room. After the workout, there was a line of people just to get out the door and we stayed to cool down. Most people left before the cool down. There were tons of people around the lockers and slowly moving around the lobby. So claustrophobic! I couldn't wait to leave. In the silence outside, my hearing was left muffled by the extremely loud music I endured the past hour. TLDR; felt unwelcomed, my friend and I didn't have a spot in class despite booking 2 days in advance, held hostage at the front lobby and did not have a chance to warm up, loud music, extremelyyyyy crowded. This was not for me. read more

GIRLLLLLL I am a Barry's lover through and through not only did it help me get into immensely better shape since I started taking their regular classes, but I've met the sweetest people here--many of them from other gyms I go to and them being a dear friend of mine. I was thrilled to hear that they opened a location in Newport because I have friends and family in the area. It's generally a smaller gym compared to the other locations including that of Long Beach. The lobby is pretty typical with a whole wall dedicated to attire and merch, another corner with the smoothie bar, the front desk, and a cool shelf for energy drinks. There's only one red room with some lockers, the bathrooms, and a place to dispose your towels after class. Every session I've taken has been grueling but I love them all! Best part? Free parking in Fashion Island AND plenty of stores to visit and eat at when you're done! read more

I really love this location. I've been to a lot of different Barrys studios throughout the years, and I was with this studio from when it opened, and I really appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the talent of the Instructors; it's very rare that I have a class here that I feel could have been better . read more

Signed up via ClassPass, drove 30 minutes on New Year's Day to get here, and found out I was on stand by. I wish there had been a warning that I was on stand by. I understand studios prioritize clients that book directly, but it was so disappointing to not find this out until I showed up in person. Needless to say, I did not get into the class that I booked several days in advance. read more

Barry's is always a solid choice for an intense sweat and killer cardio session. Love the playlist. Music is life! The front desk staff could be a bit friendlier, but overall, I love a challenging workout and a spotless bathroom stocked with top-tier products. It's the little details that make all the difference! read more

Tried this location for the first time and liked it. Only negative compared to other locations I've been to is they don't have a juice bar where you can pre order. But there is a pressed juicery next door so I guess that's an option. Parking is pretty easy since it's free public parking at fashioned island. I also noticed that classes for this location don't get as full as other locations which can be a positive if you're looking for more room to spread out. read more

Barry's Newport Beach - Inside the Red Room - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Newport Beach, California

This studio continues to uphold the excellent programming, music, and community that Barry's has! I visited this studio for the first time in November and all I could say is "WOW!". The staff, whether it be their kind and welcoming manager Chelsea, front desk staff, and maintenance crew really do put in the work to ensure that everything looks pristine, feels clean, and provides that welcoming energy. Chelsea's enthusiasm, kindness, and willingness to personally welcome all that come in made me feel so welcomed and valued! Now let's get to the instructors - I take Megan J.'s classes regularly when she was at the Long Beach location, and have no doubt she's rockin it here at Newport Beach! I can't wait to take one of her classes at this location. During my visits in November and December 2024, taking classes with Pele and Taylor was SO much fun! As Barry's regular, both Pele and Taylor's programming kept me feeling challenged in a great way. Their energy is what makes them stand out - they take the time to welcome and celebrate each attendee both before and after class. I also enjoyed that both Pele and Taylor pay attention to form and walk around the entire class. It made me feel like they takes the time to ensure we as class attendees have good form. I'm looking forward to my next class with Taylor and Pele at the Newport Beach studio! :) read more

Definitely love the works out and the jams that the coaches bring to each red room class especially coach Patrick, Taylor and Mackenzie. The only issue that I might say about this location is the facility itself. The locker room is small and so are the shower rooms. You can barely fit inside it and when you get out you can barely move around especially when it's crowded. read more

I started in January I go every day and I love Barry's! The mgmnt the instructors are all fantastic! Highly recommend!

Great work out when traveling for work. Enjoy trying the different locations with coworkers.

Loved it, even though I was so slow on the tread. With my fitness level, honestly I am probably more well suited for OTF. But I am glad I tried Barry's, love the high energy and loud music lol, makes the 50 mins seem much shorter. I will be back :) read more

Great experience here. Staff was friendly and it was a fun and easy to follow workout. Definitely would recommend !

I was so excited to try Barrys I received one free class from my friend who's a member. I loved the class and instructor so much I decided at the end of the class I'd like to purchase a membership. When speaking with front desk I told them I was leaving town so the month membership won't work, I'd rather do session since they don't expire. I purchase the seasons last month and just got back from vacation (summertime) and they refuse to let me use my package that I paid for! Ana, the front desk girl asked the manager Dylan, and said I'd have to buy another package and they would give me a $10 discount to buy 3 more sessions! (I did not use a single session, as I've been out of town) This is the most unethical, fraudulent gym, I will not be returning here. Poorest customer service I've ever experienced from Ana & Dylan. I highly recommend not wasting your money on this studio as that is fraud and false advertisement. read more

Always a great workout, but what makes this location (and their Long Beach one) so special is the team. Everyone from the front desk, to the cleaning staff to the instructors is very friendly and committed to providing a great experience. If you haven't been, I highly suggest you try it - well worth the price! read more
